Run at the Giant

1 Samuel

The army saw an impossible enemy David sought Maha, the beloved to the Lord Run at the giant, run through the fear The Lord of hosts is already here 40 days of thunder, 40 days of shame Bronze beneath the burning sun, defiance in his name Israel stood in silence, no soldier crossed the ground Then a shepherd left the ranks and faced the terror down No shield upon his body, no sword within his hand Only faith that would not break, and five stones from the land Run at the giant, run through the fear The Lord of Hoss is already here No sword, no armor, no tower stands tall One stone, one sling, and the giant will fall The champion raised his spearhead, the shepherd held his ground David swung the leather sling, and judgment left the round The stone struck through the boasting, the mighty lost his crown Face first in the valley dust, the giant thunder down Let the proud come wearing bronze, let them gather spear and steel Strength is not what eyes can see, fear is not what faith must feel Stand when every voice says run, move when every heart would stall The battle still belongs to God, and every giant falls Run at the giant Run through the fear The Lord of hosts is already here No sword, no armor, no tower stands tall One stone, one sling, and the giant will fall The battle is the Lord's, the giant will fall The battle is the Lord's, the giant will fall You
